Banksy on Advertising “People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are “The Advertisers” and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.”~ Banksy ”- (via ultimate-nihilistic-love) (Source: elledark)

There is so much to break down in this world other than each other.
I'm really interested in and amazed by lots of stuff. Particularly: - being queer as fuck - breaking everything down (other than each other) - active consent - sex-positive education - anti-oppressive language - reproductive freedom - rejecting the gender binary - cooking and eating food - dumpster diving - appreciating - being punk as fuck - Doing It Yourself - the ocean - spoken word poetry - spinning in circles - blowing bubbles - learning - teaching - sharing - this little blue ball on which we live - the solar system, galaxy and universe it is floating in - honesty - conflict resolution - books - direct action - adventuring - flexing my brain muscle - being generally amazed - you Some people who are incredibly important to me died very recently, so this blog is likely to contain lots of stuff about death and grief and suicide. If this is triggering for you or you don't wish to see it for any reason, let me know and I will do what I can to help. I also probably will post a bunch of punk music because that's pretty important right now.
